- As our government tries to fix New Zealand's energy crisis, and tensions in the Middle East rattle global energy markets, we look back at the oil shocks of the 1970s and how they reshaped New Zealand's energy story: From carless days, to Muldoon's massive Think Big projects, what worked, what didn't and what do we need to do now? | Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/RNZVideo?sub_confirmation=1
When oil producers in the Middle East tightened supply during the 1973 oil crisis, the shockwaves reached even the bottom of the world. Fuel prices surged. New Zealand faced an energy crisis.
The response from Robert Muldoon was bold and controversial: the massive Think Big programme: dams, synthetic fuel plants and huge state-backed energy projects designed to make the country less dependent on imported oil. How do those big projects stack up now?

The cricketer-turned-coach started experiencing symptoms in October. It started with chronic fatigue, then came the random vomiting and loss of appetite. By December his balance and co-ordination went awry, his vision became blurry, and he had a couple of bad falls.
And while doing some coaching at a college cricket tournament he had trouble simply throwing and catching a ball.
Three weeks later, the father of two underwent urgent surgery to try to remove the tumour. The associated risks with the surgery were significant, including the prospect of having to learn to walk again but Woodcock came out of it well.
However, surgeons were only able to get 80 percent of the tumour out.

Piri Te Tau was one of the kaihoe (paddlers) aboard Te Waka Wairua o Kurahaupō in 1990. He said it was a new experience for many of them. The hull of the waka was made from fiberglass rather than wood which caused some debate, he said.
